41-year-old Milwaukee man has been charged with fleeing a sheriff's deputy at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour on his motorcycle with his 10-year-old son on board.

Jessie R. Holt Jr., of the 6500 block of N. 86 St., could face up to 3½ years in prison if convicted of felony fleeing in the Aug. 7 incident. A criminal complaint alleges that Holt was driving his Kawasaki east on Interstate 43 near S. 116th St. at 76 mph even though the speed limit was 55 mph. When a police car pulled behind him with lights and sirens going, Holt sped up to between 100 to 110 mph and "went from the left median distress lane across all three lanes of traffic, causing other drivers to slow down and avoid an accident," according to the account in the complaint by Deputy William A. Brown.

The chase ended on Interstate 894 at W. Oklahoma Ave., but the complaint does not say how it ended.

Holt's bail was set today at a $5,000 signature bond. He is due back in court Aug. 25.
